boys who smoke and go start fires

Some stuff I've been real into lately, in numbered but no particular order:
  1. Cape Cod veggie tortilla chips. They're pretty colors, and have sesame seeds in them.
  2. Target brand cola--cheap and, I swear, tastier than regular Coke. But maybe that's more about how I don't have to leave my house to get some.
  3. Dr Mario
  4. Chris Crutcher
  5. fanboyish obsession and speculation about Harry Potter
  6. Artemis Fowl: the Opal Deception. Oh my god, I want to live in my car and just finish this.
  7. The box fan I just remembered this morning I have.
  8. renewed love for Tim Burton and Roald Dahl (as a side note, I think I'm probably the only person in the world nerdy enough to notice this, but the scene where li'l Wonka is making candy notes? When Roald Dahl was at school, Cadbury sent prospective bars to the boys for testing and what Willy wrote on his pad was some of the things Dahl mentions sending off to Cadbury in his memoir, Boy. He also said that's where he got the idea for the book in first place.)
  9. linoleum block printing
  10. This salsa-esque salad I invented, with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and super ripe avacado and a dressing with rice vinegar, chipotle chili powder, and a hell of a lot of lime juice.
  11. lime
  12. I just got an advance reader's copy of the new Jacky Faber book in the mail. Imagine if a little Dickensian street urchin girl got herself a job as shipsboy by being able to read, had crazy adventures and fell in love with another shipsboy, got put off at a fancy girls school in Boston when everyone else found out she's a girl, and then went back to London on a whaler to find lover boy. These are great books.
  13. Philadelphia Veggie Cream Cheese
  14. iced coffee
  15. ice cream for dinner, especially chocolate almond ice cream
  16. The Rogue Wave
  17. pen pals
  18. www.craftster.org (sorry!)
  19. my new gay boyfriend
  20. new dorky dance steps
  21. Cubis Gold, on Yahoo games
  22. unicorns
